The Lionel Collectors Club of America is thrilled to announce the update and release of three cornerstone collections in our Digital Archives: the complete four‑volume Holtmann Consumer Catalog Archives (1900–1995), the fully restored Osterhoff Postwar Instruction Sheets Volumes 1–4, and the complete run of Lionel Consumer Catalogs from 1996–2010. Together, these releases span more than a century of Lionel history, now presented with crisp digital reproduction, standardized navigation, and a clean, modern interface designed for effortless exploration.
As we continue our multi‑phase restoration project, please note that additional sections of the Digital Archives remain under construction and will return to the website as each collection is finalized. Thank you for your patience and enthusiasm as we rebuild this museum‑grade resource for all Lionel enthusiasts.
Ken Laundy (RM16221) has shared this project to build outdoor signage (full 1:1 Scale) for his back yard. Ken has said "i built these outdoor train signal and depot signs in 2015. They light up every night and make a great night light for the back yard. Made from wood and sheet metal. Used red LED light bulbs. The design is a combo, from old prewar Lionel crossing signals and some innovation of my own. The 'Look Out For Locomotive' signal is 11’ tall, 5’ 5” wide. The Southern Pacific Railroad Depot is 5’5” tall, 4‘wide.
